Over the last three years, the Our World is Kind Photography Contest has generated over 6,000 submissions from 2000+ photographers in more than 120 countries. These moving images have inspired kindness, love, gratitude, and joy in tens of thousands of global viewers.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to work together to spread kindness and connection through our communities.

That’s why Our World is Kind is back for 2020, seeking images from kind and talented photographers to help inspire kindness, joy, and healing around the world.

Who's Behind the Contest? Envision Kindness is a non-profit that inspires kindness, compassion, joy, and love through still and video photography. We share the best images to inspire people wherever they are. Some we make into videos like Monsoon Humanity.

Science shows that exposure to images of kindness can help people be kinder, happier, and more optimistic and generous.
The more that we share, the more compassionate, empathetic, happy, and healthy our communities can be.

Where do you see moments of kindness in your community? What stories can you tell?

Here's a bit of inspiration to help you capture these impactful moments. Your photos can document real life experiences or illustrate a concept. What does kindness look like to you?

Kind People

We see kindness in people every day. In people we know and those we haven’t met yet. People lending a hand, helping others, sharing a meal, a smile, or paying it forward. And self-kindness.

Kindness in Nature

There is kindness in animals, in a heart shape leaf, in hikers lending a hand, in protecting the environment, and much more. When we take the time, we can see kindness all around.

Kindness in the Community

Our communities are filled with kindness! At work, in places of worship, from non-profits, through fundraising efforts, and in public spaces and shops. Showcase your community organization!
